Killarney National Park: A Place to Treasure.
Author: QUIRKE, Bill.
Dublin: Collins Press, 2001. 234 pages. Illustrated. Hardback.
Killarney National Park forms the backdrop for most visits to Killarney and indeed, Kerry. It is the beautiful landscape visitors see in the distance when they play golf, visit Muckross House or look out a hotel window.
Despite the popular image of a crowded commercialised tourist destination, this backdrop is probably the greatest natural treasure in Ireland, over 10,236 hectares (26,000 acres) of relatively undiscovered and unspoiled native woodlands, lakes, bogs and mountains. This book takes you into this landscape and shows that here indeed is a place that deserves and needs to be cherished in Ireland.
